Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to the field of tools for improving services and, in one specific example, to computer enhancements for increasing a speed of a growth of an online service.
- a large number of services are available to users on the Internet, including social media platforms, e-commerce sites, news and commentary services, online gaming platforms, and others.
- many services that exist primarily separately from the Internet such as so-called brick-and-mortar businesses, have established a presence on the Internet to sell goods and services online, advertise their goods and services, and otherwise connect with existing and potential customers.
- attracting new users to register with or otherwise use a service can be crucial to the success of the service.
- the value of various types of services may be determined, at least in part, by a network effect whereby the value of the service increases (e.g., linearly or in some instances exponentially) as the service attracts and maintains a larger user population. Accordingly, services seek new ways to build their user base and thus survive and grow.
- FIG. 1 depicts an example environment, according to implementations of the present disclosure.
- FIGS. 2-4 depict flow diagrams of example processes, according to implementations of the present disclosure.
- FIG. 5 depicts an example user interface, according to implementations of the present disclosure.
- FIG. 6 depicts an example computing system, according to implementations of the present disclosure.
- Implementations of the present disclosure are generally directed to tracking and rewarding users of a service, such as an online, Internet-based, computer- implemented service. More particularly, implementations of the present disclosure are directed to monitoring the number of users who have registered with a service, determining which of the users are designated users based on various criteria, determining if the number of designated users reaches a predetermined threshold (e.g., before a predetermined deadline time/date), and transferring value such as a grant of shares to each of the designated users.
- a predetermined threshold e.g., before a predetermined deadline time/date
- implementations of innovative aspects of the subject matter described in this specification can be embodied in a method that includes the following operations: accessing registration data that identifies registered users of a service; analyzing the registration data to determine a number of designated users of the service, wherein a user is determined to be a designated user based at least partly on the user having registered with the service no later than a time when a number of designated users of the service reaches a predetermined target parameter; and based at least partly on the number of designated users being at least the target parameter, sending a network communication to initiate, to each of the designated users, a transfer of a value that includes at least a portion of a share in an entity that is associated with the service.
- Implementations of innovative aspects of the subject matter described in this specification can be embodied in a method that includes the following operations: accessing registration data that identifies registered users of a service; analyzing the registration data to determine a number of designated users of the service, wherein a user is determined to be a designated user based at least partly on the user having registered with the service prior to a predetermined deadline; and sending a network communication to initiate, to each of the designated users, a transfer of a value that includes at least a portion of a share in an entity.
- the user is determined to be a designated user further based on the user having registered with the service prior to a predetermined deadline; the grant is transferred to each of the designated users based on a determination that the service reached the target parameter of designated users no later than the deadline; the operations further include presenting, in a user interface (UI) of the service, the deadline; the user is determined to be a designated user further based on a user score for the user being at least a threshold score, the user score calculated based on detecting one or more activities performed by the user through the service; the one or more activities include one or more of uploading content to the service, creating content on the service, sending at least one message through the service, initiating at least one transaction through the service, interacting with at least one advertisement through the service, inviting at least one other user to register with the service, inviting at least one other user to register for the service who registers and becomes another designated user, communicating with at least one other user through the service, subscri
- UI user interface
- the present disclosure also provides a computer-readable storage medium coupled to one or more processors and having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations in accordance with implementations of the methods provided herein.
- the present disclosure further provides a system for implementing the methods provided herein.
- the system includes one or more processors, and a computer- readable storage medium coupled to the one or more processors having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations in accordance with implementations of the methods provided herein.
- implementations in accordance with the present disclosure can include any combination of the aspects and features described herein. That is, implementations in accordance with the present disclosure are not limited to the combinations of aspects and features specifically described herein, but also include any other appropriate combinations of the aspects and features provided.
- Implementations of the present disclosure are directed to techniques for tracking users of a service, identifying designated users based on various criteria, and transferring value to each of the designated users based on the evaluation of certain parameters, such as whether the number of designated users reaches a predetermined threshold number, and/or whether the number of designated users reaches the predetermined threshold number no later than a predetermined deadline (e.g., date and/or time).
- a predetermined threshold number e.g., date and/or time
- Implementations provide a platform and/or mechanism to incentivize users to register with and/or actively participate in a service, such as an online service that is provided through the Internet, by providing designated users with some value if a certain predetermined threshold number of users become registered with the service and/or if other criteria are satisfied.
- the value transferred is a grant of an amount of shares of stock in an entity (e.g., a corporation) that operates or is otherwise associated with the service being offered.
- the first million users to register as members of a newly launched social network site can be awarded with a grant of a certain number of shares of stock in the entity that owns or operates the social network site, if a threshold number of registered users (e.g., one million) is reached prior to a predetermined threshold deadline (e.g., date and/or time).
- a threshold number of registered users e.g., one million
- a predetermined threshold deadline e.g., date and/or time
- designated users can also be identified based on their activities through the service, particularly activities that contribute value to the service in some (e.g., quantifiable) way.
- designated users can be determined based on those users who post content to a site (e.g., comments, blog posts, product reviews, media content, etc.), purchase products through the site, click on advertisements on the site, invite other users to join the site, and so forth.
- a user score can be calculated for a registered user based on their various activities, and users with a score that exceeds a threshold score may be designated as designated users to receive the shares grant or other value.
- implementations provide a data-processing platform that operates to identify designated users based on various factors, such as whether the users registered with the service prior to the time when a threshold number of designated users (referred to herein as the stocking number), and/or prior to the expiration of a predetermined deadline (referred to herein as the stocking deadline).
- Designated users can be eligible to receive the transferred value (e.g., shares grant).
- the value is transferred to the designated users if the stocking number of designated users is reached before the stocking deadline expires.
- users are identified as designated users because they engaged in desirable value-adding activities through the service, such as the uploading of content, inviting or referring new users to register, purchasing products, viewing advertisements, sending messages through the service, and/or other activities that may contribute to the overall value of the service. Such activities may be detected, e.g., prior to the expiration of the stocking deadline, and used to calculate a score for each user. Users whose scores exceed a predetermined threshold can be identified as designated users. In this way, implementations provide a mechanism by which valuable, desirable users are more incentivized to register and actively engage with the service, and users that do register are incentivized to engage in highly desirable activities.
- Implementations support the use of any suitable type of value that may be transferred to designated users to incentivize their registration with the service and/or incentivize the users to perform the value-adding (e.g., desirable) activities through the service and/or elsewhere.
- the value is a grant of one or more shares (e.g., stock shares), or at least a portion of at least one share, in an entity that owns or is otherwise associated with the service.
- shares e.g., stock shares
- an increased user count and/or increase in the number of particularly value-adding users may serve to increase the value of the service and of the entity that operates the service.
- a grant of shares to the users enables participating users to directly benefit from the increased value of the service, which the users themselves contributed to.
- Providing the transfer of value to designated users enables a service to achieve a desired network effect by rapidly growing their number of users and/or incentivizing the participation of value- adding users.
- users are vetted during the registration process to ensure that the registered users of the service satisfy various criteria.
- criteria may include, but are not limited to, allowing the registration of users who are: at least a minimum age (e.g., 18 years old), reside in one of a particular set of designated areas (e.g., countries, states, cities, provinces, prefectures, etc.), a citizen of one of a particular set of designated countries.
- Registration may also be limited to users who can produce a verifiable credential, such as an image of a valid, non-expired, government-issued identification credential (e.g., passport, driver license, etc.).
- the registration process may also employ any suitable technique to ensure a single registration per user and to ensure that users are actual humans and not automated processes (e.g., hots), to prevent fraud and abuse.
- designated users can be identified based on one or more of the following criteria:
- the user having registered with the service prior to the service registering the predetermined stocking number of users e.g., one million.
- the stocking deadline can be a particular date, a particular time, or a particular time on a particular date, with date and time described using any suitable format. Expiration of a deadline, as described herein, indicates that the date and/or time has passed beyond the date and/or time designated as the deadline.
- the user having a user score that is at least a predetermined threshold score.
- the user score for a user can be calculated based on the detection of designated (e.g., value-adding) activities that the user engages in through the service.
- activities can include, but are not limited to, one or more of the following: adding content to the service, such as uploading images, video, audio, graphics, and/or other media content, posting comments, posting reviews, posting articles, and so forth; inviting, referring, or otherwise contributing to other users registering for the service; creating such content on the service, such as composing a review, blog post, and/or other content within the service; viewing advertisements and/or other designated content through the service; initiating at least one transaction through the service, such as buying product(s) or service(s) offered for sale through the service, and/or selling (or offering to sell) product(s) or service(s) through the service; and/or sending messages through the service.
- the activities can also include another other type of activity that is performed by the user through the service
- the score can be calculated based on the activities that the user performed prior to the expiration of the stocking deadline.
- the user score can also be based on activities performed by the user through other services (e.g., using other web sites, apps, and so forth) that are designated for tracking user activity using pixels, beacons, cookies, or other suitable techniques.
- different activities are weighted differently (e.g., awarded different point values) in calculating the score for a user. For example, the referral of other users to the service may be weighted more heavily in the calculation than the viewing of an advertisement or commenting on a blog post.
- posting a link to a video might be allocated more weight than posting a link to an article, and attracting a new designated user might be allocated more weight than posting a video.
- the service may inform the users of the weights allocated for various activities, to incentivize the more value-adding activities more heavily.
- the service may also notify users of their current scores and the scores they would need to achieve to become designated users prior to the expiration of the stocking deadline. Such notifications can be made to users through a user interface (UI) of the service, a message sent to the service to the users, and/or other suitable mechanisms.
- UI user interface
- a higher score may be granted for a referral that leads to a successful registration of a designated user and even higher score for a referral that leads to the successful registration of a highly-desirable user (e.g., contributing more than a threshold number of activities).
- Such rule(s) may be applied to avoid and/or not incentivize referrals that do not lead to value being added to the service, and/or referrals that result is inactive or dormant user registrations.
- a user may be given points toward their score based on one or more of the following considerations:
- referrals become designated users based on a dynamic (rising) score with a“top one million users on the leader board”. This may be applied given that some users may go in and out of this top group until the deadline is reached.
- a referring user may not receive points if their referred user is a hot, a fraudster, opens multiple accounts, and/or otherwise engages in suspicious behavior.
- referring users are bots/fraudsters/multiple account holders but their referred users are legitimate, the referring users may be disqualified but the referred users may be allowed to participate and attempt to become designated users.
- designated users are identified as those users who are ranked in the top N users according to the user scores. For example, the top one million users ranked according to score may be designated as designated users to receive the value transfer.
- implementations may calculate, e.g., dynamically and/or in real time, the scores of the users, which are updated based on the latest activities of the users. The users may be periodically notified of their ranking and/or whether they are designated users or not, to incentivize the users to continue engaging in the scored activities and/or increase their activities to achieve and maintain a ranking to be a designated user.
- techniques to increase a speed of a growth of a service are disclosed.
- User-specific information is dynamically calculated for each of a plurality of users of the service while each of the plurality of users is accessing the service.
- the user-specific information includes scores associated with the plurality of users.
- the scores represent combined values of points associated with each of a set of scoring activities performed by each of the plurality of users with respect to the service.
- Designated users are identified from the plurality of users based on a determination that one or more qualifying criteria have been satisfied.
- the one or more qualifying criteria include that each of the designated users has a ranking that transgresses a threshold ranking, the ranking being based on the scores.
- a transferring of a value of the service to each of the one or more identified designated users is initiated based on a determination that one or more granting criteria have been satisfied, the granting criteria including that a stocking number of designated users have been reached prior to expiration of a stocking deadline.
- Criteria for identifying designated users can include whether the users registered for the service prior to a deadline, and/or whether the users are among the first predetermined number of users to register.
- Designated users can also be identified based on activities performed by users through the service. Value, such as at least a portion of a share in an entity associated with the service, can be transferred to each of the designated users (e.g., through a network transfer) based on the evaluation of parameters such as whether the number of designated users reaches a predetermined threshold number, and/or whether the number of designated users reaches the predetermined threshold number no later than a predetermined deadline.
- FIG. 1 depicts an example environment 100, according to implementations of the present disclosure.
- the environment 100 can include one or more user devices 104 each operated by or otherwise associated with a user 102.
- a user device 104 can include any suitable type of computing device, including portable computing devices (e.g., smartphones, tablet computers, wearable computers, etc.) as well as less portable types of computing devices (e.g., desktop computers, laptop computers, smart appliances, gaming or entertainment consoles, etc.).
- the environment 100 can also include one or more server devices 108 that host and/or operate a service 106.
- the server device(s) 108 can include any suitable number and type of computing device, and can include distributed computing (e.g., cloud computing) server(s).
- the user device(s) 104 can communicate with the service 106 over one or more networks such as the Internet.
- the service 106 can be any suitable type of service 106, including but not limited to an e-commerce site, a social network platform, a gaming platform, a news and/or commentary site, and so forth.
- the service 106 may be implemented using any suitable technology.
- the service 106 can be a web site that is served by web servers, with content provided by application servers accessing persistence layer databases, middleware software, and/or other components.
- Such a web site can include any number of pages that are presented through a web browser and/or other suitable container for web content executing on the user device(s) 104.
- the service can be provided through some other type of application executing on the user device(s) 104, such as a native application or app.
- the information presented through the application can be communicated to the user device(s) 104 from the service 106.
- the service 106 can include any suitable number and type of UI(s) 110 that present information to the user(s) 102.
- the server device(s) 108 can also execute one or more transfer management module(s) 112, and/or one or more designated user determination module(s) 114.
- the server device(s) 108 can also include data storage 116.
- the module(s) 112, module(s) 114, and data storage 116 can collectively be described as the platform.
- the platform may interact with the service 106 to: 1) identify designated users of the service, 2) identify conditions in which the value transfer is to be made (e.g., satisfying the stocking number of designated users prior to expiration of a stocking deadline), and 3) initiate the transfer of the value to the designated users at the appropriate time (e.g., upon expiration of the stocking deadline or at some other date/time), such as initiating a transfer of a grant of a certain number of shares to each designated user.
- the data storage 116 can store registration data 118 identifying registered users of the service 106, activity data 120 describing the activities (e.g., value-adding, desirable activities) of the users detected on the service 106, score data 122 describing (e.g., current) user scores for one or more users, and/or grant data 124 describing the value to be transferred (and/or that has been transferred) to the designated users.
- the data storage 116 can be part of the platform, hosted on the same server device(s) 108 as the module(s) 112 and/or 114, or can be external and hosted on other device(s) that are accessible over one or more networks.
- the platform is shown as in this example as being hosted on the same server device(s) 108 as the service 106, implementations are not so limited. In some implementations, the platform can be hosted separately from the service 106, on other device(s). In such examples, the platform can receive from the service 106, over one or more networks, information regarding registrations, activities, and/or other information regarding users of the service 106.
- the module(s) 114 may analyze the registration data 118, the activity data 120, and/or other information to identify designated users 126 and/or non-designated users 128 as described herein.
- the module(s) 112 may initiate and/or otherwise manage the value transfer 130 to the designated users, such as the initiation of the shares grant to the designated users.
- the value transferred to designated users can be of any suitable value, and may be determined to provide adequate incentive for user registration and/or activities on the service 106.
- an entity that operates a service 106 may offer a substantial portion of its outstanding stock (e.g., 49%) as part of this program, with this amount divided among the identified designated users.
- a designated user may be designated as a user who has satisfied all the qualifying criteria.
- the criteria include registering as one of the first N users (e.g., the stocking number) who register with the service.
- the criteria may also include registering before the expiration of the stocking deadline.
- the criteria may also include satisfying a minimum user score that is calculated based on the user’s activities on the service and/or other service(s).
- the criteria include being in the top M users ranked according to their user scores, to further incentivize users to add value to the service by engaging in valued-adding, scored activities.
- each designated user can receive the transfer of value.
- granting criteria can include, but are not limited to, the stocking number of designated users being reached prior to expiration of the stocking deadline.
- the value transfer may be initiated at the stocking deadline, or at any suitable date/time following the expiration of the stocking deadline, if the granting criteria are satisfied.
- the top one million highest scoring designated users ranked as of the stocking date
- the top one million top-ranked users as of one year after the stocking deadline may be granted the shares.
- implementations can provide multiple motivational deadlines to fuel the growth of the user base and user activity. Users that join after the stocking level is reached may not receive the shares.
- implementations can notify users of the number of users who have become designated users periodically, and/or in real time, and may indicate to each user whether they became a designated user before or after the stocking level was reached and/or before or after the stocking deadline. In some examples, if the stocking deadline expires before the stocking level is reached then no users may receive the shares grant.
- the platform may provide each user with an up-to-date, real time indication of their user score and whether they in the top number of users qualifying for a shares grant, or if their score is not high enough to currently qualify.

- the Big Prize Motivator may be associated with a Top Group.
- the Top Group may be limited to a small number of users (e.g., 10 out of a million).
- the Top Group is associated with a prize to be set at a large, easy-to-understand, non -varying level, like 1%, which might make the marketing the entire boost period more effective.
- having two reward groups allows for both the low and high motivator to be used.
- the Tiered Group may have a range of tiers to encourage activity, including a Do-More- Get-More Motivator to be used in which higher rankings lead to increased rewards.
- the system may be configured to offer rewards for specific task motivations.

- a validation motivation is applied.
- a user boost campaign is provided that is conducted in multiple phases that begin, end and give out rewards.
- users that receive rewards during an early phase one can validate the fact they received the reward (e.g., via social media). This validation will likely cause more people to join in future phases.

- the information is stored and provided to the third party in order for a brokerage account be opened for the user upon a notification that the user will be receiving a transfer of value.
- the information collected may correspond to information required by various regulatory agencies for opening a brokerage account.
- the user may opt out of having a new brokerage account created, instead providing the service with various information needed to link an existing brokerage account to the service for the purpose of receiving any transferred value.
- an administrator configures the system described herein to transfer a certain percentage (e.g., 30%) of the company’s stock to users who satisfy the following criteria: (1) join (e.g., register) in the first 100,000 users, join within a boost period (e.g., within three months), and perform enough desirable activities to be in the top 50% of point earners (e.g., recruiting other users to the service). Furthermore, the administrator allocates 10% of the offered stock to the top 10 users (e.g., each of the top 10 users get 1%) and 20% to the top 99,990 users (e.g., according to a sliding scale corresponding to points earned).
- a certain percentage e.g. 30%
- boost may be defined or configured to have multiple phases.
- a first phase may allocate a first value for transferring to users who satisfy one or more criteria
- a second phase may allocate a second value for transferring to users who satisfy the same criteria or one or more additional or different criteria, and so on. In this way, the administrator can increase the chances that the start- up company will achieve its desired rate of growth.
